## What is Peakon?

Workday Peakon Employee Voice is the industry-leading continuous listening platform designed to improve engagement at work.

Our mobile app makes it easy for employees to give feedback, see their own survey insights, and their manager’s focus areas. If you’re a manager, you can get easy access to the most important insights about their team. People leaders can acknowledge employee feedback and collaborate with colleagues to create a plan of action. Keep track of your team’s engagement, even when you’re away from your desk.

As a manager, you can take action wherever you are:
Get a snapshot of your team’s engagement
View your team’s current engagement score, survey and participation rates. Track how it’s changed over time and investigate the split between promoters, passives and detractors.

Identify strengths and priorities
Monitor which aspects of engagement are going well, dig deeper into those that need attention, and measure your team’s scores against custom benchmarks.

Acknowledge and respond to confidential employee feedback 
Have confidential two-way conversations that facilitate more open and honest feedback between managers and employees. Let them know you’ve heard their feedback by leaving  comment acknowledgements, and filter employee comments by type, score and previous interactions.

Collaborate with people advisors and senior leaders
Use internal notes to ask for support from HR, bring important issues to the attention of senior leaders, and share useful information with other managers.

Develop new leadership skills with contextual learning 
Take micro-courses which provide bite-sized leadership lessons based on the current priorities of your team. Afterwards, put your skills into practice, and see how they improve engagement.

Take collaborative action and improve engagement 
Create a plan of action, based on your suggested actions to improve scores. These are continuously updated based on your current team priorities so you know where to start, what to keep track of, and when it’s time to switch focus.

As an  employee, our simple interface allows you to: 
Access your engagement surveys 
Fill out your engagement surveys and be notified when the next one is available. 

Get insights about how engaged you are
On your personal dashboard, you can see the latest insights from your surveys and how your levels of engagement at work have changed over time. The app also shows you which areas your team’s scores indicate need the most improvement, and what actions are being taken to improve them.

### 1/5 — “Something went wrong” error seems unfixable

*2026-08-09*

App stopped working months ago when I got a “something went wrong, try again” error upon opening the app. I cannot find any way to do anything in the app or resolve this situation. Please help.

### 1/5 — Limited functionality

*2025-11-08*

Very limited functionality on the app. I can only access about 10% of the data available on the web based platform. Really disappointing and not much point to the app when it’s that inferior. I can’t only think the high rating overall is driven by people that only access the app.

### 1/5 — Constantly asks for verification codes while pretending to be anon.

*2025-09-30, version 5.4.0*

Constantly asks for verification codes so it can tie you in while implying it’s anonymous.

### 2/5 — No purpose

*2025-04-03*

Waste time

### 1/5 — Why so featureless?

*2025-03-11*

The app and program seem to be purposely structured without bi-directional communication in mind. It’s simply a collection tool for management. I don’t see the value add of this program beyond a simple randomized survey & reach-outs. e.g., 
- why can’t I see my results over time? 
- why can’t I see the organizational averages? 
- why can’t I interact with management comments? 
- why can’t I see themes in feedback at my level? Organizational level? Personally?
- why is anonymity so cryptic and seemingly untrustworthy?

### 1/5 — Aucun retour sur les points sensibles

*2024-12-16*

Avant d’enchaîner les enquêtes : avoir des réponses aux urgences

### 5/5 — Great App - pity they are discontinuing

*2024-12-02*

I find it very convenient and responsive on mobile with the App, but Workday plan to shut it down next year.  Then will have to see how useful the website is on mobile iPhone- I have doubts

### 1/5 — App review

*2024-10-26*

Doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-08-26*

I love how it’s weekly and it’s easy to use without having to login! The interface looks very modern and sleek. Great job

### 3/5 — Not a good app for improvement

*2024-08-22*

I know people lie just to make others look bad , it’s a bad way for employees to ruin a company and management.
